Sennacherib the king of Assyria came and entered into Judea and encamped against the cities. When he planned to surround Jerusalem and overthrow it, the people of God closed the city gates. But where shall they get water from??

Hezekiah, the king of Judea constructed a 1,777 feet long tunnel and let the clear and cool watercourse of Gihon from Kidron valley, flow through the walls of Jerusalem. (Ref 2Chro 32:30)

When the armies of the enemy were standing every day in extreme heat, the people of Israel drank from the abundance of the watercourse and glorified God. People did not panic or fear while they were within the wall.

God gave a river to run inside the fortress, to supply the need of Israelites. God gave a great victory to His people. Let us sing this song in Spirit in these days of adversity, in faith…

"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge". Psalms 46: 1‭-‬4‭, ‬7 

There is a river inside of a child of God: The river of the Holy Spirit!!

Even though all other streams of water dry up, even though enemies surround him, he sings, “God is my sanctuary, my strength, my fortress, my refuge… Amen.”

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said. 2Chro 32: 7,8
